WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
"None of us signed on to this profession to die fighting COVID. We don't want to be lionized as heroes, we want to be paid fairly and treated respectfully while we do our jobs." "I still love taking care of my patients. I just think there's such a disconnect between the administration/system and the actual reality of the human condition. Money focus degrades our health focus." "I use [humor] as part of my nursing care every day. It helps decrease the patient's stress and increase positive nurse-patient relationships. Just being able to make a patient smile always helps make my day so much better!"
